It will show “ACCUSYS ACS7500 CDVL ACCUSYS” on Primary Master during POST. b.) If you only plug a HDD to upper drive, then power on the system. There is nothing to show on Primary channel during POST, so you cannot boot into OS. (Now, this is a limitation issue) 3. Now, you have to plug a HDD to lower drive, lock up and power on the system. Then plug secondary HDD to upper drive and lock up. The RHC-IDE-2R will make RAID 1 automatically. 4. After RAID1 is finished.
